Description

Showcasing one large and two small clusters of turquoise needlepoint stones, this incredible cuff bracelet was made by Zuni silversmith Carlos Tsipe. The center and largest cluster features an oval turquoise piece at its center, surrounded by a circle of sixteen turquoise needlepoint stones, which itself is encircled by a thick sterling silver rope pattern.  The large cluster is finished with another circle of needlepoint pieces, set on a diagonal and separated along the perimeter by appliqued sterling star patterns.  A half cluster flanks each side of the larger cluster, each also featuring a center oval stone, which is bordered by nine turquoise needlepoint pieces, separated by appliqued sterling star patterns.  All stones are set in sawtooth sterling silver bezels, and clusters are set atop a split sterling silver shank that merges at each end. 2″ wide with an inner end to end measurement of 5 5/8″ and a 1 1/8″ opening.  Cuff is not adjustable.
